water supply, that you bring in some put mental hay for livestock because that is a big part of the economy here. and what has happened over the years is essentially there is only so much hay and water you can haul. pretty soon people had to do something with their livestock and they were in such poor condition that by the time they realized that over 30,000 cattle died. allotted times drought mitigation plans will decline for two or three years so we have to think about the way we plan for droughts in what we do. >> there are two more questions right there. this one i want to go to roger. do you think that we will be seeing mega-droughts taking place in more parts of the country and then we are going to hit back on a policy question. >> the answer to that is most likely, but the reason why it is most likely because it happened in the past. during the years 900 to 12 or 1300 we had extended periods of drought in the colorado basin, anywhere from 60 to 100 years in the record. when we have an increasing temperature it does not necessarily cause a drought, but it exacerbates the conditions re

what was the colonial economy? these are all drugs. .. and now we have turkish coffee, english tea time and of course of the fortunes that drove a lot in the european development. and so, long story short the reason have the world got colonized in some ways is because a bunch of old white men in europe couldn't get up so there you have sex, drugs and international relations but i tell the story because what we consider drugs is important so when the white males of european ancestry that drafted this 1961 convention got to read some of their favorite drugs that they got accustomed to policy, alcohol, you know, all these things they love to do. but coca was something indigenous people used and is the attitude that made them say this is forbidden, this causes degeneration, this is terrible stuff. but coca in its natural form is a very beneficial and relatively harmless. it's a very mild stimulus in my opinion and my personal experience two cups of coffee basically, so this thing that's hard to get across people in the united states these pol

however one defines a knowledge economy today, it could not have emerged and is not worth sustaining without the production and distribution of books, journals and other professional content. it goes without saying that wherever there is publishing, there is copyright. senator kenneth keating once called copyright the jugular of the book--publishing industry. -- book-publishing industry. now, when maria said that earlier this year, i thought i've got to use that, i have to attribute it, of course -- [laughter] to her, and i certainly would not do otherwise. but it seems to me to sum up very much what i have heard since i sort of walked into this position at the aap three years ago. there are a lot of publishers who, frankly, care a hot more about making -- a lot more about making books than they do about making money. but in this climate and given the structure of the industry, there has to be a return. finish and one of the, one of the big six, one of the ceos of the big six did say to me i gamble with other people's money. that's particularly true of the trade sector, the consumer

this is a question of future economic opportunity here how is the economy going to grow? what kind of life our our people going to lead? that's why this matters so much. when you get to a gross debt of more than 100% of gdp, your future economic prospects are reduced. well, we've talked about the revenue side of the equation, the spending side of the equation. looking at the revenue, i showed a slight earlier to show the revenues at 1520% of gdp. typically if you look at the economic history of the country last 30 years, average revenue has been about 18.6% of gdp. but the last five times we have balanced the budget, revenue was not at 18.6% of gdp. it was close to 20%. you can see in 69, 98, 99, 2000, 2001, revenue and the times we balance was close to 20% at gdp. that kind of sets up the question of what the president proposed, because he was calling for $1.6 trillion of additional revenue. remember, that's not what we got in his last deal. it was 650 billion. but what he was going for was $1.6 trillion of revenue over the next six years. to put that in context, how muc
